"I hired Bob to do repairs and renovation of a condo rental unit. He renovated the bathroom with new tiles, replacing bathroom rotten wood frame window with a vinyl frame, installing new light fixtures and repairing bathroom plumbing, repairing torn screens, as well as repainting interior walls and trim throughout the unit and installing new shades throughout. He also plastered water-damaged ceilings and cleaned and organized the basement storage area. On the exterior he replaced a rotted window frame and missing clapboards, then patched and painted the wall. Bob arrived early each day and worked diligently. Bob is a great problem solver and works with you to suggest ways to do repairs for the best outcome while keeping costs down. His work is high quality. I would definitely hire him again."
"Chris was efficient, professional, completed the work in a timely manner. Cleaned the attic during the work and after he finished.
We had hired Chris for other projects,, and will hire him again, if we have work to be done.
Project : replace old Insulation in attic,"
"Mo is a true professional in his work and the best handyman you will ever need. I hired him to fix our kitchen cabinets and install some new ones. He did his work with such care and ease. He has a pleasant personality, which makes it easier to work with him. He works with your schedule, Highly recommended!"
"Erick is a truly good man who stands by his word/price. I had two bathrooms remodeled and I am thrilled with the end result. Erick made sure that any inconvenience to my family was minimal and at the end of every day their clean up incredible. After getting three other estimates, I had Erick come over to estimate the price and his price was 20% lower than some of the other estimates. Erick is my go to contractor, I trust him and I intend to have him do some more work this spring. Feel safe hiring Erick, you will not be sorry."
"Thanks to Patrick for the excellent repairs done as needed and requested. Everything was professionally handled and expertly done. When I am asked for recommendations, GPW is who I will suggest."
"Brian is great. Came down to assess the damage and was back in 2 days with a new window. He also fixed a broken screen at no charge. Definitely would recommend."
Window Screen Repair questions, answered by experts
Some hardware or specialty window stores in your area may repair damaged screens, but it’s less time-consuming, more convenient, and potentially more affordable to hire a screen repair technician to come to your home to do the work on-site. The screen technician will have the tools and experience to get the work done the same day, and they can inspect other screens while there to help avoid repeat repair costs in the future.
The best type of window screen for your home depends on your region and your family’s needs. While fiberglass window screens are a popular, affordable, and easy-to-find choice, you may be looking for different benefits, such as a more high-end look, increased strength, or extended durability. The best window screen meets the demands of your home and its residents while staying within your budget.
Adding a window to a brick house costs $3,100 to $10,575. Because you’ll need to make changes to the structure of the home, the cost will include obtaining permits and hiring the best pros for this complex job. Larger windows will cost more to install, and the cost can vary based on the window frame material you choose.
Whether you should repair or replace a screen door depends on the type and extent of the damage. It is easy and economical to repair a small tear in the mesh using a widely available DIY patch kit. However, if there are large tears, multiple damaged spots, or if the screen is made of a specialized material, replacing the entire screen mesh might be a better long-term investment for a tidier appearance. You should also consider the condition of the frame; if the frame itself is damaged, it's likely time to replace the entire door. Other factors to weigh include whether you want a new style or need a more durable door.
The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:
Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.
Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass.
Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant.
Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant.
